Katie, you are not doing this by yourself-----we at DC are here to bolster and support you-----maybe Buck contracted some form of hepatitis----they have treatments for that---hang on as best as you can.........are there some nearby hotels that you can stay at for a few days so that you don't have to travel so far??---Some are willing to give compassionate discount rates if they know the situation.....if you can then I know that you have neighbors who will be more than willing to take care of your babies. I apologize for not going thru all the threads but as soon as I read the first page I skipped to the last to post so if any of this has been repetitious I apologize.......all my hugs and prayers are with you

I don't know what to say. I feel helpless for you, other than my prayers for both your well being and strength.
Just know, although we cannot be there, we're all parying for the both of you.
Your doctor can make sure they allow you to stay longer than stated hours. Put your foot down if you have to.
They must know family presence helps in comfort and getting well.

Don't run around like a nut, and zone out yourself at home if you have to, otherwise you'll end up there, next to him.

Katie, we are with you all the way my dear friend. I know you are torn in a couple directions now, but just do the necessities and shut down everything else you can to be with Buck. Prayers of peace for you Katie.

Please tell Buck we are praying for him, and that we are missing him here a lot. Prayers for skilled doctors for him and for rapid and complete healing.
